Hi friends! One of my clips from this video uploaded earlier and it wasn't supposed to. So weird! My default is set to upload everything privately. Now you can see what I was doing with the melted chocolate. :-D I made some delicious cake for Valentine's Day with a friend years ago and it inspired these cupcakes! People really love them and I hope you'll give them a try. I've also made them with gluten free cake mix and made some friends with Celiac disease very happy! Here is the recipe. *For the cupcakes* Follow the directions on any package of chocolate cupcakes or use your favorite recipe. Allow to cool before you poke the holes in them. *For the ganache* 1 cup of whipping cream 1 tablespoon of butter 10 oz. of semi-sweet chocolate (I use about 1 1/3 cups chocolate chips) Over low heat, put cream and butter in a double boiler. When the butter is melted, add the chocolate and stir until completely melted. Allow to cool until it has thickened a bit. You want it to adhere to the cupcake. *For the raspberry cream* 1 cup of whipping cream 2-3 tablespoons raspberry puree 3-4 tablespoons sugar Whip cream with beaters until thickened, add sugar, beat some more, and make sure it's plenty thick before you fold in the raspberry cream. You don't want runny cream in your cupcakes. Fill the holes with the raspberry cream from a pastry bag, add ganache, put in the fridge for a while (until the chocolate is hard), then add a little more raspberry whipped cream on top. Next time I will probably buy a caked from Costco because it ended up being the most popular and I worked way too long on this today due to my toddler's antics. :-D Some unsightly cakes auctioned for $40 and the cupcakes went for $14. I'm not even sure how much I spent on everything.
